[depthlesslock]

Yeah, I know. When do you want to do this thing?

There was an... incident. Between us. A while ago.

[protective_logic]

Tell me about it first, so I can understand this Texas thing.

[depthlesslock]

It's... not something I tal-k-k about easily.

[protective_logic]

I can't help with what I don't understand.

[depthlesslock]

...Fine. But I'll probably need a breather afterwards.

We have this thing called the CMC. It stands for Centralized Mission C-Control and it basi-ally lets us know who's ta-ing what jobs with who so we don't c-clash. Te-k-s and I are the reason that system is so stri-c-ct.

Almost two years ag-go, I took-k a job to break-k into... into Enc-cost. It shouldn't have been all that hard: in, g-get what I needed, out. But... I don't know e-sa-tly what happened, but my theory is that my employer was too loud on what he was planning. Te-k-s was employed by En-c-cost around the same t-time since they were worried something li-e this was g-going t-to happen and she heard they were g-going to be bro-en into, she let them know and helped set the trap whi-sh, when I tried to g-get into their c-computer systems, literally blew up in my face.

[A long pause, punctuated by deep, slightly shaky breaths]

I... I lost my eye be-ause of your sister, Delta. And the funny thing is that I don't really blame her. She was only d-doing what she'd been paid t-to do, just li-e I was. I c-can't hold that ag-gainst her, but st-til some part of me does and I've been trying to g-get past that but... so far I haven't been able to.

[protective_logic]

I'm... I'm so sorry.

[depthlesslock]

Understand now?

...That sounded harsh, I didn't mean t-to sound harsh. Sorry. I was genuinely as-ing. Jus- in -ase you d-didn't... I-I'm -onna shut-t up now.

[protective_logic]

I understand. And as painful as it must be to hear, steps must be made there. Or we must try. She's important to him.

[depthlesslock]

A-tually not as painful as you might thin-. I've sort of been wanting to ma-e things better between us, I just haven't been brave enough t-to do it. Re-ardless of Si-ma, she's my t-teammate.

[protective_logic]

Then you need to start toward those steps, York.

[depthlesslock]

I... I don't know how.

[protective_logic]

Beer.

[depthlesslock]

...The idea of -oing out for drin-s... drin-k-ks with Te-k-s is strangely t-terrifying.

[protective_logic]

She won't kill you.

[depthlesslock]

She doesn't have to.

[protective_logic]

Offer to pay. That would win you points.

[depthlesslock]

...Maybe. Worth a try, I suppose.
